Bat Exclusion Services

You removed the animals from the attic, but are you finished yet? Nuisance wildlife in your attic can create problems many homeowners never think of. These animals can carry ectoparasites, which after the wildlife host is evicted, may move inside the home looking for a new host—YOU! Bat bugs, mites, ticks and fleas are just some of the ectoparasites you need to be concerned about. Mice in the attic, bats in the attic or various other vistors are notorious for bringing these pests in. Ask our Wildlife Management Specialists to inspect your attic and treat for these critters, after your problem species is removed.

It is important to know about the common types of wildlife diseases if you live near wooded areas, frequently participate in outdoor activities, own pets, or work with animals. Infectious diseases carried by wild animals can be spread to both humans and pets. These are called zoonotic diseases, and there are more than 150 known to exist. Continue reading to learn about 3 specific zoonotic diseases that are frequently carried and spread by common North American wildlife.

Rabies

Rabies is one of the most well-known and feared infectious viral diseases. It is caused by a viral agent called Rhabdovirus, and it is transmitted via animal bite, which allows the contaminated saliva to enter the victim's blood stream. Symptoms vary and gradually get worse as the disease progresses, but common symptoms often include fever, malaise, confusion, disorientation, muscle paralysis, convulsions, excessive drooling, panting, and eventually, death.

For animals, Rabies is almost always fatal; once the disease has developed, there is no cure or treatment for dogs or cats. On the other hand, humans rarely die from Rabies because there are treatments available for people who are bitten by a rabid animal. Common carriers include raccoons, coyotes, foxes, bats, and skunks.

Leptospirosis

Although not as well-known as Rabies, Leptospirosis is another serious zoonotic disease carried and transmitted by wild animals. It is a bacterial infection caused by spirochaete bacteria of the genus, Leptospira. Common carriers include skunks, raccoons, deer, rabbits, moles, and opossums. But unlike Rabies, Leptospirosis is not transmitted by contaminated saliva; instead, it is transmitted through contaminated urine of an infected animal. Transmission occurs when infected urine, soil, or water comes into contact with abraded or wounded skin, or when ingested. Sometimes, a dog might drink from an infected puddle on the ground.

Most human cases of Leptospirosis are mild, and some people do not show signs of the infection at all. But if left untreated, Leptospirosis can lead to meningitis, which is a condition that causes the tissue membranes around the brain to swell. And this can be fatal. Treatment for humans and pets generally includes antibiotics, glucose and salt solution infusions, and in severe cases, dialysis.

Raccoon Roundworm

Raccoon roundworm goes by many names, and it's not exclusively carried and spread by raccoons. Scientifically, it is called Baylisascaris Procyonis. But its condition is known as cutaneous and visceral larval migrans. These are basically worms that penetrate the skin and localize in an area close to the surface, causing redness, inflammation, itchiness, and pain. Transmission occurs when the eggs of the parasite are ingested. They enter the intestinal track and migrate through the organs, towards the skin.

Ingestion of infected animal droppings are a common cause of transmission, as well as, ingesting food or water that is contaminated with the roundworm parasite. Severity of the infection depends on how many and which organs the parasites migrated to. If they migrate to the eyes, brain, or spinal cord, the damage can be irreversible.

Prevention

Maintaining good hygiene, vaccinations, and pet vaccinations are effective methods for protecting yourself, your loved ones, and your pets from an infectious wildlife disease. Also, professional wildlife control services can be very beneficial because they can protect your property from potential animal intrusions, damages, and dangers.

Remove unwanted smell caused by uninvited animals

If you've had raccoons living in your attic, it's a good idea to have the attic cleaned. Raccoons leave their waste behind when they inhabit an attic. Sometimes there's a specific raccoon latrine, and most of the poop is piled up in one spot. Sometimes it's spread out all over the attic. Same goes for urine as well. Sometimes it's concentrated in an area, sometimes spread all over the place. The poop is easy to pick up and remove, as in the above photo, because the droppings are large. But the urine soaks into the insulation or even the sheetrock (drywall) or wood in the attic. And not all feces or urine will be accessible to remove by hand. That's when it's important to clean up and properly fog the attic to eliminate the odor and potential unsanitary conditions.

What is wildlife removal and what is considered wildlife?

The following is an interview with our local, licensed Wildlife Control Operator. He is a licensed Wildlife Control Operator located in eastern North Carolina but we are finding that the further we humans encroach on the forest and wetlands the more these services are needed throughout the United States of America.

Wildlife removal is the business of removing nuisance wildlife in and around residential or

commercial structures. Wildlife or nuisance wildlife is any wild animal that is causing damage or presenting safety concerns towards personal property, commercial property or people or pets.

Four Points most important things about protecting yourself from wildlife.

1) Always remember no matter how cute the animal is, baby or adult animal, it is still

a wild animal and wild animals can be dangerous at any time.

2) Never get in the habit of feeling wild animals - it makes them dependent on humans

to survive, instead of its natural instincts - makes them less wary of human, causing them

to get bolder and possibly attack.

3) Keep house and outbuildings and commercial buildings in a good state of repair. Wild

animals often look for weaknesses in a structure to find den sites to raise their young. Once in the structure they can cause a lot of damage which can become quite costly. They defecate inside the structure which can cause human health problems.

4) Rabies is another health concern when dealing with wild animals. Take precautions

when working or playing in the out of doors where wildlife may be present.

How do I choose a wildlife removal service?

* Is the Wildlife Control Operator (WCO) licensed?

* Do they have liability insurance? If so how much 100,000 dollars of coverage is easy to obtain. There is no excuse not to have protection for the unknown circumstances.

* Did the WCO provide you with a variety of control options?

* Is the WCO knowledgeable or belong to State, local, or national organizations?

Are there any other services Wildlife Removal Services provide other than removal?

* We also provide exclusion so the animals will not return or new animals will not inhabit your property. We also do minor repairs to residential property caused by wildlife, if the damage is deemed serious or commercial in nature we have sub-contractors we can recommend to aide you in restoring your property.

* We also provide dead animal removal. So there you have the answers to a few questions with an expert in his field. He leaves us with just one pundit of food for thought.

" Sorry for the inconvenience but we do not remove MICE, RATs, INSECTS, or INLAWS."

Nuisance animals cause odor problems in a variety of ways. Their excrement is a primary source of odor problems, and often quite noticeable if an animal has taken up residence somewhere in your home. Animal carcasses are another source of odor. Skunks present a whole other dimension in odor problems. I can identify the source of animal odors, and eliminate both the current source of the odor (for example, excrement removal) and the underlying cause (the animal's entry into your home). This work may be covered by homeowners insurance.

To clean the attic, I not only remove all of the waste by hand, I use special cleaners, including an enzyme-based cleaner that eliminates any biohazard organic waste from animals, including droppings and urine. I use the electric powered atomizer as shown in the below photo, which creates a fine mist that flows through the whole attic and gets every nook and cranny, for 100% coverage and cleanup. To protect myself against insulation fibers and animal biohazard, I wear a disposable Tyvek suit and I wear the respirator mask, as shown above. This fogging machine, also called an atomizer, sprays my cleaning solution in a fine mist that permeates the entire attic, and makes certain attic cleanup scenarios easy. In a case like this, in which the homeowner did not want total insulation replacement, the enzyme-based cleaner in the atomizer does a good job of breaking down and sanitizing the contaminated areas of the attic. If your attic has wildlife waste or animal poop, then this is one method that can kill harmful pathogens along with the odor. Homeowner's insurance will pay for attic cleanup and restoration in the case of raccoon damage, because of the potential health risks.

Wildlife Exclusion Services For Skunks

Just how does one start such a business? There are lots of ways to start a business, but starting this one off on the wrong foot is going to cost you!

A nuisance animal or nuisance wildlife control business is a career that is right for some people and definitely not right for others.

Let's start out with the job description:

Nuisance Wildlife Control Professional - Resolves nuisance wildlife complaints and prevents future ones. That is the job description in a nutshell albeit a bit oversimplified.

This description does not tell you that you will be climbing ladders, going into attics and crawlspaces and be challenged with wildlife on a daily basis. It goes with the territory.

What about education?

Most people who consider entering this career field have some knowledge of wildlife. They might come from a hunting, trapping or fishing background. This is a helpful because any wildlife knowledge is helpful to the trade.

A college education or a self study program is a leg up on the rest of your competitors.

Education is a great thing and the more you have of it, the better your chances of success will be.

There are very few schools that teach you how to become a Nuisance Wildlife Control Professional. The schools that do exist normally only have a short course and no ongoing support program to ensure your success.

So where does that leave most people? Going it alone. They have to be the pioneer and figure out each step along the way. Make one miss-step and get ready to shell out your hard earned cash to fix that mistake.

Now, back to starting your business.

You must of course obtain business licenses and insurances. If you are going to run this business out of your home, you may need additional homeowners insurance to protect you in the event something happens to your home like a flood or fire.

You will also need training and equipment. Training is important as this is not a business where you can fly by the seat of your pants. Remember that miss-step I was talking about earlier? This is where it will bite you good.

Everyone needs to advertise market and sell their services. With so many marketing messages thrown at consumers each and every second of the day, you have to stay on top of things here. Unfortunately for most new businesses, they are so busy opening their business that they do not spend enough time on this very important part of their start up. Another miss-step.

Nobody ever said it was going to be easy running your own business. It is a challenge, but a challenge that can be a lot of fun if done properly.

If it is your heart's desire to make it happen, you will do it. With the proper vision, plan, equipment, training and system, you will forge ahead and break new grounds. Without these things in place, it is a recipe for a rough road ahead!
